sdr,
I think the buyers you are seeing are one of the final rounds of knife catchers who, like raptorduck, just don’t want to wait any longer. They’ll be burned through soon enough. Then it’ll be my time.

November 13, 2008 at 8:14 AM #303745jpinpbParticipantMy credit score is 750. I have 20% to put down. I don’t want to put that much down. In these economic times, I’d rather put the least possible down and have cash available JIC.
When I bought my house in Carmel Valley in ’91, I put 20% down to avoid the PMI. And the real estate slump that followed thereafter ate through my 20%. I try to block out those days, but if I remember right, I think I ended up paying PMI after all. Not sure, though. Those were bad times. It would’ve been nice to have the cash I put into the house to help ride it out. I was struggling back then.
I was lucky enough to somehow ride it out, but now I’m hesitant to put 20% down if I can avoid it. If I found a house I really wanted that made sense to me, the very act of buying in a declining market makes me a knife-catcher and I’ll be helping to bring the comps down by buying. I know I will be losing equity down the road.
I’m ok w/that if I really like the house, but if times continue to get worse, that 20% in cash would be a nice cushion.

November 13, 2008 at 8:22 AM #303755blahblahblahParticipantAlso, didn’t FNMA and FMAC just lower the amount for loans that they are willing to buy? If I recall correctly San Diego went down from almost $700K to around $540K.
I’m sure CV won’t be affected though.
